Final Capsular Ligament Flashcards
What regions of the vertebral column demonstrate the greater laxity of capsular ligaments
The cervical and lumbar regions
In which region of the vertebral column will the capsular ligament be tightest
The thoracic region
What layers are present in the capsular ligament
A superficial layer of collagen fibers and s deep layer of elastic fibers
What is the relationship between the capsular ligament and mobility
The more lax loose the capsular ligament is, the greater the motion of the joint
The capsular ligament may bend with which other common ligament
Ligamentum flavum
What muscle will bend with the capsular ligament posteriority
The multifidus
What is the pattern of innervation for the zygapophysis capsular ligament
It is typically innervated by 3 spinal nerves
If the zygapophyseal capsular ligament is not significantly involved in restricting motion what is its function
It is probably involved in proprioceptive feedback to the muscles stabilizing the vertebral couple during movement
